1. Birds on a Wire



Do they know friendship?

They are free to live

Or die as fate dictates

Searching for food

Winging about

Chirping to each other

They must know something

Akin to friendship

Allegiance?

Protect the clan

Feed the babies

Clamor for hunger

And shelter

Birds on a wire

They do not seem to

Worry about paying the rent

Or buying groceries

Or finding love

Or all the other

Things that I lose sleep over

They are free

They are birds
